Starbucks to offer beverages and barbecue

BBQ Brisket on sourdough is among Starbuck's summer menu items for lunch and dinner.

SEATTLE – Listen up foodservice segment: Starbucks has dipped a coffee-tinted toe into the barbecue game.

The company announced a new line-up of “unique lunch and dinner options.” Among those options is BBQ Beef Brisket on Sourdough — made for those customers who requested “a heartier sandwich,” the company said in a news release announcing its new offerings.

In addition to the brisket, Starbucks is testing a Prosciutto and Mozzarella Pinwheel Bistro Box in Orlando, Fla., and San Diego, Calif. The new Bistro Box features prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella, lemon artichoke dip, olive oil and sea salt crackers, bell peppers, grapes and a chocolate truffle bar.

“Bistro boxes are the epitome of portable, flexible, grab and go food,” Melodie Beal, Starbucks product development manager, Food Innovation, said in a statement.
